Subaru's Narrow Lug Nuts Lead to Snapped Studs During Routine Tire Rotations
- Went to Costco to get tires rotated on my Subaru Forester, ended up with a stuck lug nut that snapped off
- Subaru lug nuts often get stuck and break due to their narrow thread pitch compared to other brands
- Costco techs confirmed they deal with this issue all the time on Subarus and have to replace the studs
- This is a well-documented issue online with many Subaru owners reporting the same problem
- It's a minor issue but annoying and makes me regret buying a Subaru, adding to existing reliability problems
